I've driven both. I'm an engineer for the company that makes the Abarth, and I own a whiteout fR-S. So I think my opinions on these cars is pretty valid.. Maybe.
Both cars are incredibly fun to drive. Those who bash on the Abarth don't know a thing about it.
The reason I chose the fR-S:
-RWD handling
-I liked the styling better.
-Lower seating position
-More tuning market.
The Abarth:
-Better stock exhaust note
-Functional backseats.. although still uncomfortable...
-more novice friendly when the weather starts to get colder (snow?)
-slightly cheaper to own in terms of insurance, gas, and purchase. I don't know a thing about their maintenance costs!
-park where ever the heck you want, almost. (mr.bean style parking.. lol)
Both good cars.. depending on what you are looking for. I'll be honest though.. Like everyone else, I'd take the frs/brz over the abarth anyday.
